Got this from Horimatsu in October. It was a great experience, he is such an awesome dude with some pretty cool stories to tell.

Also I got this cattoo on a caturday so I kind of won the internet that day :D

edit: can't figure out why the picture is all wonky but if one clicks it again for full size it looks like it is supposed to...

edit2: oh, and it's located on the outside of the calf.

@El Dolmago, that is ridiculously nice. So many different elements, but it all flows. Jealous.

All Thanks to Dan. He's really done an amazing job - he wanted to wait for the next section on my forearm to put eyes on the Foo so it's looking at something specific, something I never would have thought of!

Some of yesterday's work, on the top parrot and bamboo from original Ed Hardy acetate. Juan Arreguin, my artist, got it from Nervio who worked in San Francisco for a long time.

The next two were taken from Percy Water's book, done by Kemer Rodriguez.

Done at Superfly Tattoo in Leon, Mexico.

You have all probably seen this all ready but here is the session on my back piece from a week ago when I was visiting Rudy Fritsch at his shop Original Classic in Trieste, Italy. Had a super good stay in the city and the shop is truly amazing, I could be there for hours just looking at all of the originals on the walls from some of the best in the culture and also from Rudy himself. We had lunch the day after the session and he sure is a very interesting and inspiring person too.

Beyond happy with how this is progressing! Next session with Iain Mullen, who is the other part of this collaboration, will be in Stockholm quite soon and then the three of us converge during the Scottish Tattoo Convention in Edinburgh early next year to put the finishing touches on this project. I am a lucky guy :)

I have a shiney new tattoo!! Still in shiney new packaging

Got Giger style wings added to Angel Tyrael on left leg. That's me until May next year and of course I know what I want. Will take a pic later and share when back home. Beyond fucking happy!!!

I didnt think the shin was too bad. The center area where the bone is felt pretty tolerable.

Going up toward the knee cap felt better. The ankle area and as he moved out towards the outside of my calf was real sensitive for me.

Pretty much everything hurts from jaie though. He goes slow and deep to get everything really dark or bright. He outlined with a needle he spread out some, so the outline felt huge. Not that sharp precise feeling. When we were talkin about that he said mike malone made a joke about tattooing with huge needles is kinda like riding a bike with training wheels. Lol.

Oh yeah. I sent my lady a pic of the stencil and she says "you think he is gonna add blood drops to the tear?"

Right as we were done he says. I think we should add some blood dripping down. You cool with that?

@daveborjes

The palm is less painful than arse?

Right! Time to start on a palm plan.

How do you get the ink in to hold, virtually jackhammer the line work in?

My hands and fingers held up well. The same application, a solid application with a 10 or an 11?

I'll Squiz ol' mate this Sunday when we catch up for breakfast beers.

Outstanding! One of the best backpieces I've seen in a long time. I think Iain Mullen does some of the best black & grey around and is very underrated for it. Too many artists use too much black (heresy, I know), but Iain's pieces always has that perfect balance of greys, black, and skin so that it's very readable from a distance.
